Where to Stay for All-Star Weekend
Base yourself in the downtown core (near the arena/stadium and convention center) or in a nightlife district with fast transit. Book refundable rates early—inventory tightens once rosters and concert lineups drop.
NBA All-Star
Downtown hotels near the arena & convention center are prime—perfect for skills night, celebrity game, and fan fest. Late-night eats walkable = gold.
Check AvailabilityMLB All-Star
Stay near the ballpark for the Home Run Derby; consider adjacent neighborhoods with easy rail/ferry for fireworks & post-game flow.
Check AvailabilityNHL All-Star
Arena-adjacent stays beat winter weather and rideshare surges. Seek enclosed skyways & indoor concourses when available.
Check AvailabilityMLS All-Star
Stadium-close is best; or pick a nightlife hub + rail for skills night and concert tie-ins.

- Transit: Choose hotels on the same rail/bus line as the arena/stadium & convention center.
- Dining: Reserve near your base—pre/post-event rushes are real.
- Merch & activations: Go early on day one for shortest lines and limited drops.
- Weather plan: Winter hosts (NHL/NBA) = layers; summer hosts (MLB/MLS) = sun + hydration.
